I would like to make a complaint to ICA regarding an officer In Charge (Sgt Wong Weng You) at 8.20pm 17/10/2022 at Counter 17.
I was driving back from Malaysia for a short getaway with my wife, a Chinese National. At the above stated date and time, we were at the Singapore checkpoint when the stated officer first asked me if I had gone to their office before. I replied 'No' and ask tor the reason for his question. He replied that he was merely asking. I was puzzled as I was just coming back from a day short trip into Msia with my wife. Mr. Wong then ask me if the person next to me, my wife, was someone in his words "whom I have paid to have a fun time with."
I then questioned what he meant by that as I was taken aback. Mr Wong then asked me for the 2nd time, infront of my wife,in his own words again "if she was a social escort that you had paid to have fun with and to do something in and out of Malaysia" and he then said that I should know what he meant. My wife and I were in utter disbelief.
I then asked Mr Wong if he wss being serious in asking such a question because surely he should know how inappropriate and rude he was being. His response was that this was a standard line of questioning based on, in his own words again, "just a basic profiling question."
I was still in absolute disbelief and I got very upset. My wife was very upset and told me to stop talking to him. She then started to cry.
I was then asked to be escorted to the office by Mr wong. My car was then searched.
We are so upset with what had happened and my wife has since been unable to sleep well without feeling terrible. My wife and I would like to hear back from the relevant department on this so-called "basic profiling question ".
Thank you.
